Glasgow Youth Film Festival is one of Europe's most innovative film festivals, programmed by Young Programmers aged 15-18 mentored on a year-round basis. GYFF24 will take place from 13-15 September - we look forward to welcoming you!
Applications for GYFF Young Programmers are now open!
Aged 15- 18? Are you at a Glasgow City Council School? Interested in film? Could you be one of our GYFF Young Programmers for 2024?
What is it?
Every year, we invite a group of young people through GFT's doors to programme the Glasgow Youth Film Festival (GYFF) a weekend full of film screenings and film events for young people.
No experience of working with film is necessary and neither is a lot of film knowledge, but we welcome a passion about film and cinema. In return for your regular commitment, you’ll build up lots of different skills and the opportunity to take part in a qualification which will provide an excellent addition to your CV.
Please note this is not a filmmaking course but you will watch films and learn how to create a three-day film festival.
What will I gain?
• Meet new and like-minded people with similar interests to you
• Attend a summer school with Glasgow Film professionals
• Learn how cinema and festival programming works
• Meet film industry professionals through supported networking opportunities and hosting Q&As
• An optional Participative Democracy Certificate (two credits at SCQF Level 5)
